April 4 — International day for mine awareness and assistance in mine action
Responsible Citizens NGO works systematically to ensure that mine risk education is accessible to everyone — especially to children and families living in frontline areas. We firmly believe: knowledge saves lives. And although awareness is growing, the risks remain high. That’s why we go beyond Mine Risk Awareness Week — our activities take place year-round.
Recently, special mine risk education sessions were held in Child-Friendly Spaces across four regions of Ukraine. Children and adults learned how to recognize danger, what to do in suspicious situations, and why it’s essential not to ignore even the slightest signs of threat.
Mobile psychosocial support teams are also part of this work. They regularly travel to communities that often lack access to verified information. Our specialists conduct interactive training adapted to the age and everyday realities of the children they work with.
We also invest in continuous learning for our own team so they can pass this vital knowledge on to the families they support every day. The more people understand how to behave around explosive hazards, the more lives can be saved.
🇺🇦 Ukraine is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. According to estimates, more than one-third of its territory may be contaminated with explosive remnants of war. Complete demining will take years. But we don’t wait for things to become safe — we act now, wherever risk reduction is possible.
